What is Dinewise ?

In Halton, the Dinewise program is a mandatory food safety program for food premises. The main focus of the program is on providing consumers with a way to find out whether or not the restaurant they are eating in, meets standards for food safety as set out by the Ontario Government.

What is the Summary Inspection Report?

A Summary Inspection Report outlines whether a food premise has met basic food safety standards as required by provincial legislation. A Summary Inspection Report is located at all establishments. You can ask the manager at the establishment to see their Summary Inspection Report. Posting of Summary Inspection Reports are now available on our website. Search through our Directory of Food Premises.

How is the program being implemented?

The new food premises now included in Dinewise will be phased in between August 1, 2009 and August 1, 2010. During that time, public health inspectors will be conducting their regular inspections and providing information about the program. Summary Inspection Reports will be completed during these inspections. Posting of Summary Inspection Reports will also be phased in over the next 12 months. Please check back regularly for updates. Search the Directory of Restaurants for inspection reports.
